I'm still adamant that you can get better results and much simpler code just using Wolverine.HTTP endpoints than you can with any kind of "Wolverine as MediatR" usage. Emulating MediatR just junks up your code IMO.

For any Austin folks, I'm sitting on the patio at Mozart's on a crazily beautiful day, latte in hand. I've got every single thing I need to be as productive as possible except for ambition.

I'm perfectly okay with a "walk and chew gum at the same time" approach
Spanberger and Sherrill did attack Trump frontally, including on things like his ballroom, but I agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social that Dems absolutely can't conclude that affordability is his primary vulnerability. The lawbreaking and corruption matter too!

Democrats Become High On Their Own "Affordability" Supply
Hit Trump wherever he's weak, but don't subordinate all other politics to sticker prices, letting him off the hook for most of the reasons voters hate him.

Woot! Wolverine passed 2 million downloads on Nuget today.

I was admittedly frustrated about how long it took to hit the 1M milestone, but the adoption has trended up a lot this year and we're doing well now.

My son & I won by .10 points in fantasy this week. So our players got 1 more yard from scrimmage

Good on her. Never can make up my mind about Slotkin and whether she's helpful or more of a problem
Whats interesting is how Slotkin was involved early on but not at the end

I've hardly ever heard much from Pat Green except for this one album that's just fantastic top to bottom (if you like TX alt country anyway):

For Austin folks, saw him at Carlos & Charlie's when I first moved to Austin in '00

My days of not being able to make a diagram with Excalidraw that looks professional have definitely come to a middle

Narrator: it did not completely solve the issues, there's more effort to go, but hopefully we're on the right track.

Software is frustrating sometimes
Just helped JasperFx's biggest client (who de facto paid for this work:)) utilize the new testing support to make a nastily complex automated test running between two applications work consistently even in the face of so much asynchronous behavior.

I'm a happy camper this morning.

🛠️ If your team has issues to work through:

We do an exercise at offsites called Elephants, Tigers & Paper Tigers.
- Elephants are things that the group isn’t talking about but needs to
- Tigers are things threatening the team, risks
- Paper tigers are things that seem like risks, but aren’t

We're doing another Critter Stack live stream tomorrow to finish off the "vertical slice" discussion and I'll also show off some cool new test automation helpers for both Marten & Wolverine:

I just published new Nugets for both Wolverine and Marten late this afternoon. 14-15 contributors total and both releases only cover work from the past couple weeks at most!
November 5, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Weird little milestone today. Just had GitHub issue/PR/discussion #4000 roll through in Marten today. Marten has definitely been the single biggest, longest running project I've ever had a significant part of.

See: "Schadenfreude":

pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.
we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate
November 5, 2025 at 7:05 PM
I was going to work an hour last night to "finish" a combined Marten & Wolverine release. Glad I didn't bother trying last night because that "just gonna knock this out" work that was left looks like it's going to take all day today

Dude also moved to Austin and funds a bunch of libertarian crap here trying to make Austin be more like the rest of Texas. I'm not sympathetic to him in the slightest.
lol Palantir CEO Alex Karp sounds like he’s on the verge of crying.

I've started a blog post on tools, techniques, and infrastructure we've added to Marten or Wolverine that pay off in easier development. Definitely talking about MarkdownSnippets & VitePress for docs. Nuke for build automation and local scripting.

Not a new comment, but one of the best things you can do in running a community OSS project is making it easy for users to make pull request edits to the documentation. Misspellings, grammar issues, clarifications, and advice for the next person all add up in a positive way.
